2. Arizona's on my "do not vacation there" list. n/t

[OHdem10]

3. Check these numbers--Over 60% AZ Democrats and over 70% AZ

Republicans approve the new law.

5. This is the state that didn't want to honor Martin Luther King day. I am not surprised

Regardless, of how these racists vermin in the arizona legislature feel, the law is unConstitutional

I would hope the Attorney General gets off his ass and does something about this

As far as 60% of "so-called az democrats" supporting this law, they should be ashamed. They are a disgrace

7. demopublicans?

looks like the same thing to me

14. It was a Rasmussen poll.

Doesn't completely excuse it - illegal immigration is a hot button issue that crosses party lines out here, but it was done by a notoriously Republican leaning pollster with a sample of 500 people.

20. ugh

that's a disgrace.

4. Like I said in an earlier post, I urinated on my Arizona Ash tree in protest...

I love trees so I would never cut it down. But out of protest I did go to the back yard and pissed on Arizona Ash tree. If I could I would go to Arizona to protest, but this was easier. And I wouldn't be forced to 'show my papers'.

BTW, I'm a Canadian who served in the US Army. After basic and while waiting at the military base to go to a top secret missile school I had to go back to Houston to swear allegiance to the US and become a naturalized US citizen. Otherwise I would not have been able to get into the missile school. But they would have sent me to Vietnam because US citizenship wasn't required to be eligible to go there to be killed. I know, my best friend Brian joined the Marines and he went to Vietnam. He cracked up because of the violence he was exposed to. He also came back with a cocaine addiction. He died in 1994 of lung cancer that I'm quite sure was the result of being exposed to Agent Orange. It's sad, but even though that war killed him, his name will never be on the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Thousands of other soldiers who either committed suicide or succumbed to diseases after being exposed to toxins like Agent Orange won't be on The Wall either. Nor will they be included in the war casualty list, although they were killed by the war just the same.

Have you ever seen the "Moving Wall"? It used to travel around the country. It is a small version of the real wall. When it came to my home town and I walked by it I broke down seeing people's names I knew. If you have a chance, go see it, or better still go to see the real WAll.

All the best...

6. I saw the real wall in Washington, and it is as moving and heartbreaking as you describe

What Arizona is doing is a disgrace to the United States

[pipi_k]

11. I don't even have to see the real one in person...

Every time I see it on TV I cry even though I never knew anyone who was killed over there, although I did know a few who came back with mental injuries and amputated limbs.

:(

12. Oh poo...duplicate post!

:grr:

[onpatrol98]

8. Arizona wasn't on my list, anyway...

Arizona wasn't on my list anyway. They've been on the news too much this year for kidnappings and such. Not to mention, I'm probably too broke to travel far.

[spin]

9. Everybody who believes in Civil Rights should also push their representatives in Congress ...

to get off their asses and pass a honest and fair immigration policy. Stop selling out to the corporations who enjoy employing a slave underclass that they can mistreat and underpay.

Guiding Principles

President Obama believes that our broken immigration system can only be fixed by putting politics aside and offering a complete solution that secures our border, enforces our laws, and reaffirms our heritage as a nation of immigrants. He believes our immigration policy should be driven by our best judgment of what is in the economic interest of the United States and what is in the best interest of the American worker. President Obama recognizes that an orderly, controlled border and an immigration system designed to meet our economic needs are important pillars of a healthy and robust economy.

Strengthen Border Control

President Obama will protect the integrity of our borders by investing in additional personnel, infrastructure, and technology on the border and at our ports of entry.

Improve Our Immigration System

President Obama will fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy and enable legal immigration so that families can stay together.

Remove Incentives to Enter Illegally

President Obama will remove incentives to enter the country illegally by preventing employers from hiring undocumented workers and enforcing the law.

Bring People Out of the Shadows

President Obama supports a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.

Work with Mexico

President Obama will promote economic development in Mexico to decrease the economic desperation that leads to illegal immigration.

10. What products might I use regularly that I could switch from in order to not buy from Arizona?

[DesertRat]

16. Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus and Climate

The 5 C's of the Arizona economy that we grew up learning as school children in AZ. The unofficial 6th C is Computers.
